i've had several big bumps on my scalp for years. the largest one recently lost all its hair. i was wondering if anybody else has had these. and if anybody has had them removed before. they never bothered me before. but the one with no hair looks funny and is going to look even worse if i grow my hair out. has anybody had them incised and drained or excised entirely? did it work? did the hair grow back on the area of scalp where the pilar cysts were?
I had one behind my ear on the scalp that drained on its' own. It was painful at times and the hair did fall out, but hair did grow back after the cyst subsided. It reocurred a couple of times in the last ten years, but hasn't bothered me recently. I know that if it is a problem, I can have the sac removed.
Hope this helps.

Ps: I'm a big believer now, in drinking plenty of water, and I do think that it helps.
